horse Colors

Color Genetics is one of my hobbies, and I love the science of it, but I will try to keep most of these pages easy for the lay-person to grasp.

When breeding a mare, one of the most exciting questions is: what color will your foal be? Some of that is a mystery only answerable by the birth, but a lot can be predicted. In fact, in some cases, if you choose the stallion with care, you can guarantee what color foal you will get!
